Yep it's dynamic. Are you checking it at midnight or something when it just reset itself?

[Gary King]

For those who are having reset problems, make sure you run the query required.

I dont know what this hack do at the full releases forum. The user record reset at midnigt and the newpage shows difference todayusernumber how to the index.php. The hack from Mystics works fine but this is only a beta in my eyes.

Did you run the query? And I'm not really supporting the newpage since I only made it because someone requested it, although it should be working fine.

[Hellburn]

Yes i have run the query. Now i have tested the instructions-normal.txt and he dont reset at midnight but the instructions-newpagedeutsch.txt reset at midnight.

I ran the query too, but the record is still resetting all night...

as you can see here: http://www.kampfkunst-board.info/forum/index.php

I installed it somedays ago and had at least a record about 500 active users yesterday, but today the record has been resetted again. :disappointed:

[Zero Tolerance]

It comes to my attention why exactly do you not use this for max user's online in a day

PHP Code:

<phrase 1="$recordusers" 2="$recorddate" 3="$recordtime">$vbphrase[most_users_ever_online_was_x_y_at_z]</phrase> 


As your method is incorrect O_o'

I know this is correct, because i use it for the welcome box i made on my forum, plus it will be more optomized if you do use it, because there is no need for any queries or code execution, since its already in vB

If anyone wants the corrected version + optomized, do these edits:

Change template 'forumhome_todayloggedinusers'
To this:

<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onClick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_todayactiveusers')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_todayactiveusers" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_todayactiveusers].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
$vbphrase[active_users_today]: $todayonline
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_todayactiveusers" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_todayactiveusers]">

<tr>

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_link.gif" alt=" Number of Active Users Today" border="0" /></td>

<td class="alt1" colspan="0"><div class="smallfont">
<phrase 1="$recordusers" 2="$recorddate" 3="$recordtime">$vbphrase[most_users_ever_online_was_x_y_at_z]</phrase> | 
$vbphrase[already_visited_today]:<br />
        $todayloggedinuser<br />
        </div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>

Open index.php:
Find:

PHP Code:

// ### MAX LOGGEDIN USERS TODAY ################################
$todaymaxusers = unserialize($datastore['todaymaxonline']);
if (intval($todaymaxusers['todaymaxonline']) <= $todaynumberregistered)
{
    $todaymaxusers['todaymaxonline'] = $todaynumberregistered;
    $todaymaxusers['todaymaxonlinedate'] = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m'), date('d'), date('Y'));
    $DB_site->query("REPLACE INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "datastore (title, data) VALUES ('todaymaxonline', '" . addslashes(serialize($todaymaxusers)) . "')");
}

$todayrecordusers = $todaymaxusers['todaymaxonline'];
$todayrecorddate = vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'], $todaymaxusers['todaymaxonlinedate'], 1); 


Remove it

Save and upload, thats it

[KarateKid]

hm, that doesn't change anything with my problem!??!

[Hellburn]

I dont understand why the userrecord reset at midnigt by the newpage.txt. Nobody a fix for this problem?

[thuffner]

I think Daylight Savings Time screwed the hack up. After midnight it is showing that the most users was back in December 1969, and that all of my users visited then....

Any suggestions for a fix?

[Ocean]

I'm also having a problem after Daylight Savings, although it isn't as bad.

Basically, prior to the change in DST, it showed that record for most users online in a single day as 3/30/2004. But after DST, it's showing as 3/29/2004.

Are there future problems that will occur? Or was this a one time event?

[Nj?rd Eriksson]

Deleted the entry from the datastore table; reran the query, reinstalled the hack.

Described time zone problems still persist.

[LadyBeth]

Way cool. LadyBeth clicks install!

[Xabbu]

Nice hack..
